hi everybody,
not sure if this is a good idea, but i wanted to suggest this:
a way that i can add a widget to a layout through wxsmith when the widget is not a pure panel for eexample but a new class derived from wxpanel but only extended by members and methods which do not interfer with the actual look of the widget, so it could be represented through the normal way of representing a wxpanel.
the idea behind it was, that i have a notebook with several pages. every page contains a closed set of information. only 90% of the information of this set is actualy presented to the user through widgets on the page but the remaining 10% are not visible data. i would do this creating a new class inheriting all of wxpanel, put the widgets in it and add the non-visible stuff, but then i cant use wxsmith, cant i ? if i code it somewhere else, i split into two what really should be in one place, the 90% in the panel and managed by wxsmith and the 10% in some file or even in the same file, but just somewhere else...
well, i'm definitly no very advanced or even good programmer, just learning around

if the idea is crapp, well, then its crapp ...
also missing badly a feature to do all those pages of my notebook in different files and still have them and the overall layout managed by wxsmith. like beeing able to design some panel and then insert this panel in another layout like it was just a stanadrd widget (through a listfield in the editor or so ... ) when i'm working on the containing layout the inserted sublayout is only a greyed-out static image, when i double-click the sublayout, the editor changes to grey out the containing layout and loads the sublayout ready to work with it... )
well, soon here is the day of "reyes" , the day of kings, the three biblical kings of bethlehem. they are the guys who bring the gifts here, not santa, so maybe i´m still on shedule with my wishes

regards and greetings from asturias
